thesnowsknows Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well I could have been in fantasy land and said something crazy like.....4 to 6 inches is a good bet. 4-6 in Bmore North isn't completely crazy. IMO Bmore looks like 2-5 right now but still not far off 4-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Dave said anyone in our area thinking it is going to snow is full of crap...he says there is no chance of snow here ahh, lol so he does We have a interesting situation developing with regard to the potential for some winter weather over portions of Pennsylvania and New Jersey and rumors… totally unfounded and irrational rumors …. that there some sort of significant snow coming for Northern Virginia and Maryland. http://www.wxrisk.co...d-to-calm-down/ /feb-22-pa-event-folks-in-dca-bwi-and-far-northern-va-need-to-calm-down/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 RGEM ain't bad either top map is the 36 hour, next map is the 48 hour map and bottom map is the 36 hr map that shows at 36 hours all snow down to PAX River, which means some of qpf on the 36 hour fell as snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 hopefully this storm pans out for DT sake. He has been very bullish on this storm for a while for the DC area look at his FB page or his website....nothing significant for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 probably best for LWX to play conservative for now, I'd do the same. The WWA will be issued regardless, so 1" probably goes 1-3" for most? This isn't a 5-8" storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
